My company took over a project that another company was building. The other company switched all the passwords for the system and the database right before they left. No one has the passwords to the system or the database. Is there a way I can dump the data, or re-mount the drives into a different machine and get the data? Or am I just screwed? I have physical access to the machine and I can do anything needed I just need this data asap!!
I have lost the system administrator password for my test server which contains inf. which I cannot afford to loose. The SQL server documents state that if the password is lost , then a SQL re-installation will have to be done.
Is anyone aware of a way to reset the password for SA without reinstalling the SQL server.
I need to retrieve the SA Password through MS SQL 2005. The reason why is I am trying to connect a number of computers in the same building for an Address Book to be shared by everyone. I will be using the program, Addressinator! to do this. But I need to have the SA password in order to connect the computers. I am running Windows XP. I have read a few instructions on how to retrieve or make a new password on the net, but most of it doesn't make sense to me.
For Example, this is one that I found: To reset the sa password, you can make the following:
1. Login to the SQL Server box as the Administrator. 2. Run SQL Server Enterprise Manager. (I don't have the Enterprise Manager) 3. Right-click the server name and choose 'Edit SQL Server Registration properties'. (I can't find the properties!) 4. Choose 'Use Windows authentication' and click OK button. 5. Expand a server, expand a Security and click Logins. 6. Double-click the sa login and specify new password on the General tab.
I just started a new job and no one seems to know the SA password.Here's my plan to change it:1. I've run a trace for a couple of days to verify that there are nojobs or processes that are connecting as SA and that would break if Ichanged the password.2. Before the changing the password I am going to bulk copy out thesysxlogins row for SA so that if things go wrong I can reinset the olddata with the old unknown password (will that work?).3. Log on to the console as Windows administrator and changing the SApassword.Does that make sense? Anyone have any other suggestions?Thanks.
I forget my dts password for an dts on Sql 2000 SP3 .How can i reset or find my password for edit my DTS .I have db admin and sys admin user rights on this database.
I have an DB2 source and SQL destination. I have 2 ConnectionManager. One for DB2 (IBM DB2) and other for SQL. Both are of the OleDB type.
Well. I setup my connections and it work fine. Now i want to change my ConnectionManager for others sources or destinations. And I don't want to have to change the connection in more than forty packages.
For this, i have 2 XML configuration file in package configurations. One for connection. In this XML i have the connectionstring, user and password. These files are obtained in all the packages.
Well. If i change the connectionstring in this XML file configuration, only work fine the OLEDB for SQL. The conection for DB2 return the fail: "The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "_packagename_" failed with error code 0xC0202009."
I have proven to modify protectionLevel of the package to DontSaveSensitive. SQL work fine. DB2 fails. I have changed to EncryptSensitiveWithPassword. The same.
Why the packages obtain the data of connection of the configuration file for SQL and it does not work or with the configuration file for DB2.
Hello, I'm running an MS SQL 2005 database which supports our entire website and it's fairly huge. I seem to have lost the sa password for the database.
I COULD get it back if there was a way to convert the SQL 2005 DB to an SQL 2000 DB, seeing as how I found a password cracker for that version. Is there anyway to convert a 2005 DB back to a 2000 DB?
Does anyone have any other ideas they might want to lay on me?
I'm kind of sick about this... I'm usually a really good note-taker; In fact, I do have the sa password recorded in an IT database that I keep. Unfortunately the password just doesn't work. I've tried the caps lock and other variations, but the password just eludes me.

After designing a SSIS package in Visual Studio 2005 that had two connection manager defined to keep the password. After I deployed the package to a file system. I then Imported the .dtsx file after making a Integration Services connection in Sql Server Management Studio. When I tried to run the package it failed when it tried to make the connection. When I edited the connection manager connection string and added the password and the package ran fine but it does not retain the password!. I need to have this package scheduled to run daily so I need to know how to have the package keep the password in the connection string. I have seen other posts on this issue but not seen a good solution. Could someone point me to the proper MSDN article that would explain how to implement this ? Is it a SQL Server configuration issue or a property in Visual Studio SSIS design time ?
I have connected to Database using my credentials by checking remember password option. After few days I forgot my password. How can I recover the password as SQL remember it. Is there any way to recover my password instead of resetting it.
I have a package protected by a password - I am already unhappy that to get it to use the configuration file to change connection strings for the production servers I have had to hardcode the password into the config file - very insecure! However, the package now deploys correctly to the production server and will run from there OK, but NOT if scheduled as a SQL Server Agent Job. Thus is because however often I edit the command line to include the password after the DECRYPT switch (which it has prompted me for when I click on the command line tab), the Job Step will not retain it. If I open it up after I have edited it and closed it, the password has disappeared.
I know that if I run dtexec plus the code in the Command Line tab (with the password), the package runs OK.
This is driving me insane! I have read all the other posts and so I tried replacing the SSIS package step with a CmdExec step and pasting that code into there - then I get an OLEDB error..
The code I use is: DTEXEC /SQL "ImportRateMonitoringTables" /SERVER servername /DECRYPT password /CONFIGFILE "D:Microsoft SQL ServerSSISDeploymentsRateMonitoringImportTasksDeploymentImportRateMonitoringTables_Production.dtsConfig" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E
and I get
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x8000FFFF
although the same code executes perfectly from a command prompt.
Please does anyone have any experience with a similar problem and if so, how did you get round it?
I am receiving the following error message when attempting to create a new SQL Authenticated login id.
Password validation failed. The password does not meet the requirements of the password filter DLL. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15119)
I have four servers all running SQL Server 2005 SP2 on Windows 2003 Ent. SP1. Of the four servers, only one received the above error message using the same TSQL below.
CREATE LOGIN TEST_LOGIN WITH PASSWORD = 'pvif9dal' MUST_CHANGE, CHECK_EXPIRATION = ON
All four servers are in the same domain, which if I understand correctly, the password policies are therefore inherited at the OS level by the domain. The password being used is within the password policies of the domain.
I tried to install an ALLDATA database which run with SQL Server 2005 express edition. The data base fails to install becase of the following code that come up which is related to AS password requirement. The error that come up is:

On the login prompt for Report Server, there is a checkbox option to "Remember my Password." I check this, login successfully... but when returning to the Report Server, I am again prompted for the password, although the user name is saved. No matter how many times I do this, the password will not save in IE7. I have tried this on 3 different computers with IE7. In IE 6, I do not even get the checkbox as an option, just the user name/password prompt. In Firefox, the password saves fine. Any ideas what would be causing this?
I have an internal Project Management and Scheduling app that I wrote internally for my company. It was written to use MySQL running on a Debian server, but I am going to move it to SQL Server 2000 and integrate it with our Accounting software. The part I am having trouble with is the user login portion. I previously used this:
PHP Code:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = "$username" AND user_password = password("$password")";
Apparently the password() function is not available when accessing SQL Server via ODBC. Is there an equivalent function I could use isntead so the passwords arent plaintext in the database? I only have 15 people using the system so a blank pwd reset wouldn't be too much trouble.
Hi all......well ill try and explain what I dont understand :-(
I am completely new to SQL. I have downloaded SQL Server Express 2005. I guess I need to download another program now like SQL Query Analyaer so that I can query a database - can anyone recommend a free download that will do the job?? I had a play around with one that I downloaded but to be honest, I have no idea on how to get the two programs talking.
Is someone able to guide me through how to initially set up SQl Server and how to get evrything working??

This procedure is missing one importent piece is I need to have a customerID added to the invoice table. The CustomerID comes from another table called Customer_Invoice_cart. I don't know how to convert Customer_Invoice_Cart.CustomerID to a @CustomerID to add to the table.

Hello all let me first start out by saying I suck at SQL. I can do quite a bit with ASP.NET but SQL Server is on area that has haunted me and I have finally decided to bite the bullet and figure this behamouth out.Well here is my first problem, which is the biggest reason I can't seem to understand SQL Server or dataases in general.To have a realtional database you set up tables with foriegn keys and primary keys referenceing the id's like product table has a product name and one of the columns is a user_id displaying the id number of the user in the user table. From what I can tell you are supposed to set up the user_id in the products table a foriegn key to the Primary Key in the user table. I may be totally wrong on this though.Now my biggest question is how do you retrive this information the proper way to get it ready to be displayed in a gridveiw or a datalist? I have been reading SQL Server 2005 for developers and reading online tutorials and it seems like they say you need to set up a relationship and because of the realtionship you don't need to do a join, but I never hear how to use the relationship at all.Please someone help I am so totally lost that i feel like i will never understand. I have spent the last week trying to figure this out and I guess I am just googleing this wrong completely or i am incompentent one of the two.Thank you.
Hi, maybe someone has some clues to the following situation. Suppose from a SQL 7 database, only the log .ldf files are lost. All datafiles are present. Suppose there is no backup of this database. SQL Server will put the database in the SUSPECT status. The following question is very interesting to me: Can one recover from this situation??? I ask this, because when datafiles are lost, it's obvious that you have lost data, but since the transaction log files are a "bit special", I just wonder how one can survive such a situation. I know that IF a database has only ONE log file associated with it, and this one log file gets lost, SQL Server will create on startup a new log file. But with multiple log files, it does not behave in this sympathic manner. Is there perhaps any way to recover (for example, an undocumented dbcc command or so) ? I surely will appreciate any tip or suggestion !! Thanks!!!
We lost all the data we had in a table. We restored the db and the transaction log up to a point in time, but could still not recover the table. We eventually only do db restore without the transaction log. We recovered the data in the table in question, but lost all the data entered that particular day. Does any body have a solution or suggestion that can help? I will be greatly appreciated.
Hi, I face a different behaviour between SQL Server 6.5 and 7.0 regarding the global variable @@identity. I insert a row into a table with an identity column. This table has an insert trigger attached which performs another insert into a second table. Now I seem to lose the identity value (@@identity is NULL).
Example: Take the following 2 tables:
create table a (aaintnot nullidentity, bbintnot null )
create table b (bintnot null ) go
Table a has a trigger attached:
create trigger a_trigger on a for insert as insert b select aa from inserted go
After this I execute the following SQL statement:
insert a (bb) values (1) select @@identity
On 6.5 I get the result: ------------------------------------------ 1
On 7.0 I get: ------------------------------------------ (null)
Which means that outside the trigger I have lost my identity value. This feature of Version 6.5 I usually use to maintain event logs. Using a trigger hides this maintenance nicely from the application. My question is now, is this a new feature of Version 7.0 or is it a bug? BTW: The books online describe this behaviour in the case when the trigger inserts value into a table with an identity property, which is not the case in my example.
